[maker-devel] Huge memory usage

[Carson Holt]

The test should not use up more then a few megabytes of RAM.  Even on very
large datasets you should never really use more that 1 or 2 gig of RAM
perl MAKER instance

It's possible that their may be other perl modules that are broken need to
be reinstalled on your system.  This can happen when perl gets updated,
but you are pointing to modules built for a different perl version with
the PERL5LIB environmental variable.  Make sure you you have the latest
version of MAKER and run with --debug set.  Collect that output and send
it to me (the --debug option does some dependancy checking).

I know there is an issue on Macs with updating perl's DB_File module that
causes it to gobble up big sections of the hard drive (it will eventually
fill the drive if you let it).  It's not a memory issue but just one
example of how broken modules can cause weird behavior.

Thanks,
Carson
